Foreign Students
Absent special circumstances, an applicant must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States to be considered for admission to the School of Medicine. Special circumstances may be considered where the applicant has a pending application for permanent residency status in the United States and is either married to a U.S. citizen who has established residence in Kentucky and intends to remain in Kentucky, or has numerous members of his or her immediate family who have established residence in Kentucky and expect to remain in Kentucky indefinitely. All decisions as to whether special circumstances exist in a particular application for admission shall be made by the Dean or his designee.
